Daytime shows aren't based around BD sales, with a few exceptions they sell like crap

And nighttime show "buy the bd" stuff is generally censored boobs, they don't intentionally make it look like poo poo, anime production is just that broken

It's the American comic book industry all over again.

(American comics tried to make dank cash by trying to sell "#1 issues" as a big thing by overproducing them, after seeing how much Action Comics #1 went for, never realizing why it was so valuable and as a result, over-saturated the market with #1 comic-books that have virtually no value at all)

Have people seriously never seen a low-budget episode of an anime before? :psyduck: I mean it isn't a good looking episode but the "The ORIGINAL never did this" stuff or the laughable argument "this is modern, ergo it has a bigger budget" is sort of bewildering.


I mean poo poo like this is straight-up ridiculous. If you wanted to compare the bottom you'd compare it to



instead.

Seriously. I mean, aside from ACTUAL animation errors...



You had stuff like



Blobku's honey mustard hair or



One-eyed Veggie

Dragon Ball as a whole is FILLED with episodes of questionable quality. Has been since it was actually called Dragon Ball.

I thought you guys were just making fun of bad in-between frames, but after watching the episode, holy poo poo even still shots are really off-model. How did they get away with this?

Look, getting an episode out a week is tough. Those animators don't work on just one show, they do a whole bunch. So sometimes you have to rush, and do just about anything, just to get something out by your due date, even if it's delivered an hour before airing.
So basically, hosed up schedules.

It helps that no one really gives a poo poo about this section of the show. We all know what happens having seen the movie and they are undoubtedly saving their budget for animating the parts up super that people are actually going to give a poo poo about.

Even Attack on Titan was getting worked on right up until airing and even past that where some stations got even better versions. They had stills with voice overs, 3d blue insert color blocks, bad drawings.

A big thing about this episode is that they were animating an actual fight, that wasn't like old DBZ's 3 frame fights (looped fast punching and kicking).

Lower budget, rushed, and having to animate characters actually moving around the screen as opposed to still and talking to each other ends in bad results. The second to last Stardust Crusaders episode had the same issue. This is going to happen, just expect and deal with it, really.

I wouldn't mind more 3 frame fights as long as they weren't as half-assed as the ones in DBGT.

I swear, most of GT's battles were the same move repeated over and over again with different dialogue.

There was that fight a few episodes ago with the alien who could transform, who Whis was trying to take the dinosaur from. That was pretty good. They just don't really know how to manage the budget behind things. Like... usual, really.

Meanwhile



Can we just start posting hilarious inbetweens? Because these keep getting funnier and funnier.

Frankly, I don't like you
and I never have.
I feel like in the old Dragonball anime, itwas a little more forgivable to have poo poo animation and such because they weren't making the show to be good or have any artistic merit (well, individuals who worked on it did, I'm sure, I mean the company behind it), it was just a giant advertisement to buy the manga. Like Transformers or GI Joe or something. Super is original material (maybe, eventually?) so it being poo poo is kind of worse.

I mean, I'm not gonna watch grandma Goku anyway, so I'm holding out for Funimation getting to use cleaned up Blu-Ray quality episodes.

So it's already worked on you regardless and done its purpose. It wanted to sell you a product and you bought it. Preemptively to it coming out. That was the entire purpose of Dragonball Super airing on TV. Toys no longer sell like they used to, so they sell other things.

Like video games.

... Do you really think they're making Dragonball Super to have artistic merit and not to sell toys, video games and other add-ons?

dragonball games got stale enough that they had to do a weird time travel Original Character Adventures game because there was no reason for people to keep buying them after like 20 years of the same content

if they dont make new characters and storylines they're going to run out of stuff that people will care about buying eventually. basically happened once already after Budokai 3 came out. xenoverse was rad though, i liked it a lot, but they can't just rehash that 20 times
